Customers commend the Xbox Series S for its affordability, compact size, and impressive performance, especially considering its price point. Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass. However, some users point out limitations in storage capacity and the lack of a disc drive as significant drawbacks. The console's resolution capabilities also receive mixed feedback.

    I like it but prefer the X as the images are crisper and it loads a bit quicker. This one is not that far off, I use this at work and the X at home. I love the compact design and the fact it was available at a time when i couldn't get the X or PS5. The storage isn't a huge issue for me but of course more is always better.

    So far so good. We’ve had this product for several months and have had no issues. I have noticed that the controller my Child uses is a little wonky now because he’s very rough with his. Like it will glitch when trying to navigate but nothing too bad.

    Games look great and I love how small it is. Storage is enough for now. The only thing is that I do wish that I would have waited a little bit more for the Series X because it is nice to be able to buy used disc games for cheaper prices. There are a lot of games on Game Pass but I miss being able to buy new releases secondhand for much cheaper. For that reason and for the actual system differences, if I were to do it over again I would probably have just waited and paid a little more for the X.

    I love it, I’m glad I was able to get this at retail without giving in to resellers… but I’m actually disappointed that this was shipped out WITHOUT A BOX!! This is in high demand and people get hurt over these things, but this was shipped out in no discreet packaging. Please do better about this.

    This system was very hard to get and I finally got lucky and was able to put in cart and purchase with an arrival day of Dec 31st and it came Dec 24th. Merry Christmas to my grandson who thought it would come by January 26 for his Birthday. He is happy and so are we. He's such a good kid and that was one of his rewards.

    I didn't expect this thing to do 120 frames. and the upscaling with 360 games is also really well done. also super small so it was easy to put in my entertainemnt area. overall I really love it

    A lot of power in such a small box! The next gen has arrived and this is one of least expensive ways of making that transition. A total move away from physical discs you get the performance and glorious beauty of the next gen. The only caveat is you will run out of storage especially with big games such as COD-Cold War.

    I was a little skeptical when purchasing this item. I really wanted a ps5 but it seems like I'll never get one so I settled for this console. No regrets. Still 120 fps at 1440p load times are mad fast and it has such a compact design. Only downside is storage and that it's digital.... but it's no deal breaker for me so

    Good Performance at 4k, Small Storage

    Enjoying my new XBox Series S. Performance is good for any games I have played and I play primarily on a 75" 4k tv. I do feel slightly limited with the lack of a disk drive on the unit and the storage space is definitely too small for anything more than half a dozen games, but I knew that going into the purchase. I will add that I seem to be limited to a download speed of ~250Mbps while direct wired to a gigabit connection. No idea why I can't go beyond that as every other device I have performs at max speed, but it's not a huge deal.

    Wow! This console is a beast. A lot of people disregard this, but the performance difference to the Series X is barely noticeable. For the price and quality, this is amazing! I've now been using it regularly for 6 months and it has never disappointed me.

    I would have given this a 4 star. However the experience was amazing!! Once the games are downloaded it’s pretty fast. For the 4 stars. It was only because my kids was playing Xbox one at their moms house. And asked me to get off my career mode because they wanted to play. Grrrrrr. Now I’m back on the hunt for PS5
